I am very tempted by the latest size of the Worldtimer and would like to hear it from the owners. Satisfied? Wanna share some pictures as well?

They are just fantastic watches... More than watches, each tilme you contemplate the dial, you travel without having to take a plane..LOL These are fascinating watches, as the finish of the dial, the look of this cmplication, the cal 240 are strong points...  

5130 certainly is my choice. Not only because of the cool scissors hands...

...but also due to size. Prefer the whitegold version, but can live with the rosegold version as well. Pls. let me know what you mean about the "better finish" of the 5110? Are you talking movement-wise?

THIS quote...love it

" More than watches, each tilme you contemplate the dial, you travel without having to take a plane..LOL" So true

Initially I was after a white gold 5130 or platinum 5110, but a combination of fate and good luck resulted in me being the proud owner of a 5130R. Wrist shot at Bvlgari boutique in Ginza (Tokyo) Good luck with your choice. Regards Rene...  

My 5130p was purchased 2 days ago....

And still factory sealed. It is gorgeous. regarding the blue dial, the PP AD explained that the PP did not simply "forget"to make the blue circle bigger but instead wanted to space out the cities more evenly for more eligibilty in the reading. Furthermore... 

wrist shot please

You made a nice choice, my friend... A WT PP is a REF in the WT watches. So you went on the Platinum version? Any pics of it? Thanks for the explanations about the blue center of the dial. It is true it makes the watch a bit more legible, even if I still ... 

Thanks Nico!

Yea it was a tough choice between the white gold and platinum..... I just couldn't get another white gold since I already got the 5110g. i will post a pic once i rip the seal open...who knows i might return it and get the white gold ...hehe

So you kept the 5110 G ?

 
 By: amanico : September 28th, 2008-02:56
Funny that is exactly what I did...But I inversed the pair Platinum white gold, as the WG is the 5130, and the platinum is the 5110... Impressive duo, isn't it? Best, Mindara! Nicolas

Yeah...

 
 By: mindara : September 28th, 2008-03:02
But i still think the Platinum looked better on the 5110 than it is on the 5130.....Anyway....I have my eyes set on the 5960 now.......

Me too, Mindara

Well, I mean on a PP Chrono. I'm waiting for my Duo Metre to come, but I will end my Chrono Collection with a PP... If I receive the 5070P I ordered it 's ok, if not, I'm donig my Homework on the 5960P... I recently saw one for the 2d time in real, and I ... 

Ah the infamous 5960!

As seen in the figure (posts no:2,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13), 5130 is an exciting watch; we owners like talking about it very much. Case size is very well thought; movement is very reliable and accurate; operating it is great pleasure and overall, the model (...

By the way Nicolas, every time I see the pictures you take of your WT's, the idea of doubling my 5130 with a WG version is dangerously growing. I would sue you if you were not a lawyer ? ? ?... Sincerely Ahmet

The best of the best, Ahmet

I meant The WTs, not the Lawyer, of course! LOL Yes, the Duo 5110 / 5130 is indeed very appealing. At the beginning, when I received the 5130 WG, I already owned the 5110P. I was wondering if I won't sell one of these 2... Now, I have the answer: I keep b...
